The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Gu Shijin learned about what happened in the main hall through Xingzhu and was surprised by Concubine Qin's behavior. This person was always a nobody when she paid respects before, so why was she so interesting today?

"Let's stop eating and go take a look." Gu Shijin said. It was not as interesting to hear others say it as to see it in person.

Xingyue smiled and said, "My Lady, how dare they say such nonsense when you go there?"

It seems so, but it’s getting late, so we should go.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived." The main hall suddenly became quiet after hearing the shouting.

The concubines all stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort. May the Empress be blessed with good health."

Gu Shijin had his usual gentle smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"It's so lively, what are they discussing?" Gu Shijin asked after looking around.

The few nobles who had just spoken shut up and it was Concubine Lan who spoke again.

"Just now, several sisters were talking about Concubine Fang falling into the water yesterday." As she spoke, Concubine Lan also chuckled a few times.

We are not fools, no one would harm Concubine Fang. Everyone knows how she fell into the water, not to mention that the emperor punished her.

Gu Shijin nodded, "The weather is cold, everyone should avoid going near the water. It would be terrible if we are not rescued in time."

Gu Shijin's face was gentle, but his tone was quite cold, and he looked at the people below with a rather sharp expression.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"Yes, this is also what the Emperor meant by confining Concubine Fang."

Gu Shijin continued, "I have recently heard that you sisters like to hang out in the Imperial Garden very much. I would like to invite you sisters to watch a play in the Imperial Garden this afternoon. Everyone should come.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to refuse.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Lan, Concubine Ming and Concubine Ning didn't care at all. No matter what happened, it had nothing to do with them, so they just watched the show.

I just don’t know whether the play on stage is more exciting or the play off stage is more exciting.

"If everything is fine, just go away." Gu Shijin said.

"Yes."

"Is the stage ready for this afternoon's performance?" Gu Shijin asked while reading a book.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything has been prepared long ago. Everything has been arranged according to Your Majesty's instructions." Xingzhu said with a smile. Your Majesty is really interesting. I believe that after this incident, the harem will be peaceful for a while.

Gu Shijin nodded. She was too lazy to knock on them one by one. Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to just watch the show and have some fun?

Lu Junze knew that Gu Shijin was going to perform in the Imperial Garden in the afternoon, and he also knew the general content of the play. He couldn't help laughing while reviewing the memorials. Only Jin'er could come up with such an idea.

"Su Deyuan, let Concubine Fang out this afternoon. The Imperial Concubine has invited the concubines in the harem to watch a play, so how can Concubine Fang not come?" Lu Junze said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Su didn't know what the emperor meant, but he was sure that this was definitely not a good thing for Concubine Fang. Good things could not wait for Concubine Fang to enjoy them.

But Concubine Fang herself didn't think so. When she heard Su Deyuan say that the emperor was going to let her go out to watch a play, she was so happy that she went crazy. The emperor really had her in his heart, otherwise why would he specially ask Eunuch Su to let her go out to watch a play.

So, people should not be too trustworthy. It is not good to be a man who trusts too much, and it is not good to be a woman who trusts too much.

Su Deyuan had been in the palace for so many years, and was always by Lu Junze's side. He was very good at reading people's faces. As soon as he saw Concubine Fang's face, he knew that Concubine Fang had wrong ideas, but he didn't say much. After all, he was just a messenger. It was enough to pass on the message. The rest would be taken care of by the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine.

The fact that Lu Junze let Concubine Fang out to watch the show caused a small stir in the harem, and everyone was guessing why.

"Your Majesty, why do you think the emperor did this?" Qiaohui looked at Concubine Lan and said.

"I think the show this afternoon will be very exciting. I can't wait." Concubine Lan said.

"Your Majesty, are you going this afternoon?" At the same time, the maid in Concubine Xian's palace looked at Concubine Xian and asked. Her Majesty rarely joins in the fun in the palace, but the Emperor is involved in this matter, so she doesn't know whether the Majesty will go or not.

Concubine Xian put down the brush in her hand, looked at the words she had written and nodded with satisfaction, "The Imperial Noble Concubine has arranged everything, and I have to give her some face, so go and take a look."

"It's the lady."

The weather today is not too cold. Maybe God is giving Gu Shijin some face. It is just the right time to watch a play and drink tea.

Today's play is very interesting, and the tea must be delicious, so Gu Shijin prepared milk tea.

The concubines were a little confused when they saw the small teapot on the table. It didn't look like it was for tea.

"This is the milk tea I prepared. Sisters, please try it and see if it suits your taste." Gu Shijin said.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

Everyone took a bite out of courtesy. After all, it was impossible for the imperial concubine to poison the food in public.

Lan Fei likes drinking milk very much. After taking a sip, her eyes lit up and she drank the whole cup.

"Your Majesty, how do you make this milk tea? Why is it so delicious?" Concubine Lan asked impolitely.

After spending a long time with Gu Shijin, she also understood a little about Gu Shijin's personality. Gu Shijin would not care about such things, and she would not refuse to tell you if you asked her openly.

Sure enough, she heard Gu Shijin say, "This is milk tea, roasted with tea leaves. If Concubine Lan is interested, I will write you a recipe after the show."

Concubine Lan stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Imperial Noble Concubine."

"We are all sisters, there is no need to be so polite."

Gu Shijin actually likes Lan Fei's personality now. She is straightforward and says what she thinks. She won't say things behind others' backs. She is much better than those people who say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. However, she easily offends people sometimes.

"Concubine Xian, Concubine Lan, would you like to order two plays?" Gu Shijin also had to take care of these two high-ranking concubines.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Lan looked at each other and shook their heads. Concubine Xian said, "The Imperial Noble Concubine has good taste. I believe the play she ordered will be very exciting. We can just join in the fun."

Gu Shijin smiled, glanced at the people behind him meaningfully, and said, "I believe I won't disappoint Concubine Xian and Concubine Lan."

After saying that, Gu Shijin looked at Xingzhu and said, "Let's start when you are ready."

"Yes, your majesty." Xingzhu clapped her hands, and the actors who were ready at the back came on stage.

When the first woman came on stage, Concubine Tian stiffened for a moment. It was not because of anything else, but because this person's clothes were exactly the same as the ones she wore when she danced in the Imperial Garden that day.

As the play began, people gradually noticed something unusual. This play was too familiar.

The second scene is flying a kite in the Imperial Garden, the third scene is singing a play in the Imperial Garden, the fourth scene is being bullied in the Imperial Garden, and the fifth scene is falling into the water.

Without exception, all of them happened recently.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Lan found it very interesting, but some of them were so angry that they almost buried their faces in the ground.
